Saying good bye to soil destruction
We decided to get rid of this
old Statesman tiller we never use anymore.
Why did we stop using it?
Because the soil in a no-till
garden looks, feels, and
smells a whole lot better.

Oh no! I have the same exact machine just bought in an auction. The engine, carburetor and fuel tank needed some serious cleaning, it would not start. After one whole day removing carb, tank, oil change, spark plug etc, finally started the engine then realized that the transmission is bad. Tiller don't work and forward, reverse don't work either. I am looking for another one to use the parts( transmission ) I don't have a garden, I'm using it to soften soil in my back yard, then remove excess sil, grade and then make a patio with bricks. I'm interested to buy a none working statesman for parts. Thank you Philip 302-743-4129
